UIDAI Allows Downloading Own Aadhaar Update History
Information to help ascertain residency status for past few yrs
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has unveiled a feature that allows people to download their own Aadhaar update history, adding to the provision of self-authentication it had provided earlier. The update history will help people while applying for services such as passports and visa or for sundry jobs since it can ascertain their residency status for the past few years.
 
UIDAI chief executive Ajay Bhushan Pandey said the Aadhaar update history can be downloaded from the authority’s website and used to support assertion of address, etc. The feature is currently in the Beta phase. “Providing Aadhaar update history will bring in more trust and further empower people because they can now use their update history to the authorities while applying for jobs, school admissions, various services or benefits, etc., because in most such cases they are usually asked to provide their address for the last two or three years,” he said.
 
To utilise this facility, the Aadhaar holder would have to go to UIDAI’s website, www.uidai.gov.in,and click on Aadhaar Update History. Upon filling up the Aadhaar number or virtual ID and the security captcha, the person will receive a one-time password on the registered mobile number. After entering that, he or she would be able to see the Aadhaar update history which can be printed as well.
 
The data will show date-wise details of updates made in address and other fields of Aadhaar since its generation. This could be any update relating to name, date of birth, gender or address, or changes in mobile number or email address. Aadhaar already has a feature where a person can verify the existence of another person by entering their 12-digit UID number. It prompts very limited demographic data about the person.
